Why does Russia want to Buy U.S. Uranium... they don't have their own mines?

And? Didn't you just try and make the point that Russian controlled uranium couldn't leave the United States? And? You are now moving the goal posts? And? :roll:

What possible interest could the United States have in allowing Russia to take control of ANY of our domestic uranium production? Let alone 20%.

First and foremost the Uranium is very low grade, something we do not even need. Today it seems to be all about Plutonium for weapons. If there wasn't an election this subject would never even have been brought up.

Never said that.. Said that it needed authorization to do so.. which it does get, since the US sells uranium to its allies.

And? You are now moving the goal posts? And? :roll:

Nope you are the one seeing things that are not there.

They let Canada take control of it first... what interest does the US have in doing that? And "control" is a strong word, since it is ownership of a production, and the sale of said production is highly regulated by the US in the first place.

But I get it.. you are a protectionist and anti-capitalist.
 
Exactly what was Muellers involvement and what was Obamas involvement in this really insignificant story.

They knew about it, and did NOTHING to stop it. Indeed, they may have facilitated it.

Yeah, you really shouldn't speak about subjects you don't understand.

Even Democrat leaders are now asking questions about this shady deal.
 
Should we not try to have good relations with them?

Personal or professional, why is Russia any different than China, Canada, Japan, etc?

I find it laughable that associations with Russia are a bad thing. Only a bigot would say that!

Yes, we should be working hard to improve relations with Russia, including significantly expanding trade, where we sell them electronic (Cell phone towers hardware!) goods in exchange for their advanced heavy steel foundry manufactured goods (Cheap, Rugged, Turbine Engines).

But! Realize, that Russia does allot of things for their Nation's interests which are not in America's best interests, nor are the LEGAL in our country!

If we want to change our laws to make such things (Nuclear Material Transfers) legal, fine, change the laws!

But don't go down the path way of accepting bribes, ignoring laws and regulations, and free-for-all exchange with something as dangerous as nuclear materials or bio-weapons components/technology.

There are very good reasons to limit such exchanges with ANY foreign power.

What was there to stop, the whole transaction was no big deal. However now that election time is coming again your kind has to make something out of nothing.

The Russians are not Evil Demons.

But they're not cute, fuzzy, harmless little teddy bears either!


We need a mature, unified, pragmatic, logical, and realistic Russian International Engagement Policy.


Something which the Hillary SOS office & Obama Foreign Policy decidedly did NOT produce!

Good thing we didn't vote for a candidate who colluded with Russia for personal gain then, huh?

Oh wait.

Have you got that proof yet? After a year, please show us some proof!

Is this a policy that the Trump administration is pursuing?

At this time, I do NOT know!

This is so much hype, misinformation, spectulation, and outright propagand LIES being spewed by the MSM about Russia and Trump, the waters are far too muddy to even see your own outstretched hand!

I hope so!?

I would think so!

Let's seriously, and politely, ask the White House!

You mentioned lies being spewed by the MSM regarding Russia and Trump. What lies are you referring to?
 
It makes no sense?

Why does Russia suddenly need to buy a bunch of American Uranium?

What? The huge land area of Mother Russia doesn't have enough Uranium Deposits to meet Russian Consumption needs?


Don't they have a huge stockpile of fuel rods sitting on the site of each of their nuclear reactors, awaiting a turn at reprocessing, to remove the fission waste products and reconcentrate the reactor burnable fuel?


( A little known fact, in a Ur Reactor, only 6% of the fuel is burned before byproducts of the reaciton start to poison the fuel rod reaction rate to the point of needing to re-process the pellets / rods back into "Pure" fuel to reload into the reactor core. 94% of the fuel remains unused, when the rods/pellets are removed and set for "Cooling" before reprocessing.)


Russia hasn't been developing their own Reactors and Fuel chain for them for 30+ years?


How's that work?


Wait... maybe the Uranium wasn't really for use in Russia?





ohhh... So, the Uranium is being funneled through Russian Surrogates to IRAN!

Now Iran, attempting to enrich Uranium into a large set of nuclear weapons, they would need a huge amount of it all of a sudden...



Now that makes sense...


...until you consider it was our highest levels of Government Officials in the Obama Administration and the Hillary SOS office, which facilitated the last thing America needs, a Radical Shia Muslim State with a few hundred nuclear warheads!


This vast betrayal of American Interests in nuclear proliferation makes no sense at all!


Questions for debate:


Why did we let this happen?


How did we let this happen?


Is there any way to "Undo" this huge blunder?

Clinton got 145 million bucks for her trouble.
 
You mentioned lies being spewed by the MSM regarding Russia and Trump. What lies are you referring to?

Back a few months ago, polling showed that a significant portion of the American public had become convinced that Trump, working with the Russian Hackers, had rigged the election vote counting machines to change the outcome of the election!

Russian Hackers May Have Affected 2016 Election Vote Totals

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/05/russia-us-election-hack-voting-system-nsa-report

But the truth, when looked at calmly and rationally, is that while the Russians may have used propaganda, manipulation, and misinformation to impact public perception of Hillary and her trustworthiness, there is absolutely no evidence that vote counts were ever affected by some sort of mysterious Russia Cyber attacks!

The truth about Russia, 'hacking' and the 2016 election | TheHill


The impact of the Russian Propaganda efforts, particularly with respect to the Steel Dosier and the fussion GPS report justified FISA wire taps were large against the Trump Campaign, and in Hillary's advantage and favor!


The American MSM was grossly irresponsible in fomenting the concept among the general public, that the election had been "Rigged" by Russian Hacking.


If any form of significant election fraud took place, it was along the lines of allowing Illegal Immigrants to vote on a massive scale, in some areas of the country, and the habit of some voters to vote more than once, in different nearby states, in the election.

But we won't look into that muck pond, because it might reveal a bit more than the Leftie aligned MSM wants discussed...

Agreed.

Also for economic reasons. However, there are certain things that are just a commodity. I they don't get it from us, they will get it elsewhere.

I am trying so hard not to laugh at this post. Lets just start here, do you have a single piece of proof of illegal immigrants voting on a large scare? If you recall Trump also told ud millions of them had voted, and now a year later he has yet to offer a single piece of evidence.
 
Is this a policy that the Trump administration is pursuing?

They are at least not vilifying the Russians. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess, but if we want to achieve global peace, having good relations with Russia is the right thing to attempt.

The best way to become better world partners is to stop the fear mongering, and support both populations vacationing in each other's countries. When the people start understanding and appreciating each other, the leaders follow that vote of confidence.

I have met some really great Russian people.

Its one thing to have good relations with Russian after a president is elected, and quite another to involve them in influencing our elections.

Lol.....

You might try actually reading the article I linked to. Dianne Feinstein for one. She's not exactly a right winger.
 
You just told us that even democrats were questioning this transaction. I asked you which ones, and we have silence. You just continue to lie.

I found a single article from The Hill which you posted and i found nothing about Feinstein. What are you talking about?

You obviously did not read the article. Please quit playing these silly games. What is the point?

But it's not just Republicans who have said that the revelation the FBI had evidence that Rosatom was engaged in criminality during the time it was receiving favorable decisions from the U.S. government deserves fresh scrutiny.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), a member of both the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees, told The Hill she would like to learn more about what the FBI knew.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) has criticized Republicans for investigating Clinton, but said on "Morning Joe" last month he has "no problem looking into" the Uranium One deal.

And Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said Sunday on CNN that he believed it was appropriate for Congress to investigate the new information.

Still just unfounded accusations, and if they did... think it's the first time?

There is also evidence the attempt was to help Hillary. Problem is, none of the evidence either way is solid.
